Tho American aud United States Com.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. "a well-defned
ruuor was current here this morning to
the effect that a big deal was about to be
contaminated between the American and
United States Express Companies, where.
by the former WAS to gain the local ex.
press traffic on the Lake Shore and Mich.
igan Southern railway from Cleveland
vest to Chicago, and the United States
Company WAS 10 gain other valuable ter
ritory in exchange. {E
superintendent Hughes, OF tie Amer.
can Express Company, said, in regard TO
the rumor, that he knew nothing OF such
g deal. OF course, he said, the American
could use the western section Of the Lake
Shore road to good advantage, az it had
the line east, 10 Buffalo. The matte, had
been talked Of for years, but has never
taken definite shape. , United States Tx

f5f'i " Jub!lee. ~ I, Sir
LONDON, Sept. o-Ths jubilee OF Pope
Leo XtII, for the celebration Of which
moas extenuiye preparations are being
made, will undoubtedly have great effect
upon the immediate future OF the Catho-
lie Church in Europe and upon the status
Of the vatican in its relations with the va.
rious European governments.
In peIfsctipg the arrangements neces-
aary to a proper display Of magnifcence
onthe occasion nons Of the possibilities OF
Church aggrandizement have been over
looked, and tho representatives OF the dlf-
forent soYereigns who will be present to
aasirt in the rejoicings over the Pops's at.
tainment Of his fittieth year Of priesthood
will ecarcsly BIO permitted to take their
departure after tho celebration without
having been sounded to their full depth
by astuse Vatican diplomats in search OF
something indicating their personal opin-
ions, as well as tho views Of the rulers
thay represent, upon the question Of the
restoration OF temporal power to the head
OF thu Church. E5isf5 =s!1-; Z. IA. d
Aside from the und5ubted fact that the
jubilee will be made the most OF By the
Popa and his emtnontly able lieutenGnta
to pave the way to outside influence in
favor Of re-astsblishing tho kingly chsrac-
ter Of tho Pontiff that can later bs brought
againat Italy, the celebration will DO one
Of tho grcndeat affairs that Earope has
ever witnessed, and its magni1csnce will
doubtless impress many persons who
would bo invalnerablo to verbal argu.
ment or persuasion. Nobody knows the
value OF regal, and at the same time op.
perfume, display better than the Pope
does, and he msy be depended upon to
dazzle his royal and semi.roysl visitors
into tho belief that royalty is bslitsling it's
greatness by excluding Loo Nil from
among the morh,chs Of the earth.

Mr.. Blaine has met the Prince as he

There ISL no living American who has at

with whom he has come in contact ut
Homburg that he had learned more from
Mr.. Blaine Of things, that he desired to
know about the progress and condition OF
the United States than my other person
With whom he had ever talked.
! But by oil melus tho most interesting
conversation which has taken place be.
tween these two gentlemen was one con.
corning the Irish question. The Prince
himself remarked to one of his equerries, |
